Connection variant Imusicbook⠸ 20/25 with powered loudspeakers

Connection variant I: The easiest way to enjoy music with the musicbook 20/25 is to connect powered loudspeakers. You only need a signal cable long enough to establish the connection between the outputs of the musicbook 20/25 and the inputs of the powered loudspeakers. The musicbook 20/25 can easily handle long cables and delivers up to 5V of output voltage at 600 ohms in balanced operation. Thanks to the built-in

preamplifier, multiple connection options for analog and digital sources, and the ability to play CDs* or listen to music from a network server or web radio, the music-book 20/25 becomes the center of your hi-fi system.

musicbook 50

musicbook 20/25

Connection variant II: To operate a passive loudspeaker on musicbook 20/25, you will need a suitable power amplifier. With the musicbook 50, we offer a balanced Class-D power amplifier, which meets the highest requirements for sound. In conjunction with high-quality two-way loudspeakers or small to medium standing speakers, this amplifier delivers the finest in sound with ultra-low power consumption. An intelligent signal detector automatically

turns on the amplifier when a music signal is received and off again when no music is being played. But the musicbook 20/25 can also be perfectly combined with existing power amplifiers. Since both outputs can be operated simultaneously, a power amplifier and a subwoofer can be connected to the device, for example.

Connection variant IIImusicbook⠸ 20/25 in combination with an existing hi-fi system

Connection variant III: If you already have a complete hi-fi system with preamplifier or integrated amplifier, you can connect the musicbook 20/25 to an analog input of the amplifier. To do this, the volume control of the preamplifier can be bypassed in the musicbook 20/25 (menu item uFixed Line Outputt in the Settings menu of the IR remote control) so that it will

only work in headphones mode. Thanks to the multiple connection options for analog and digital sources and the ability to play CDs* or listen to music from a network server or web radio, the musicbook 20/25 becomes the central source of your hi-fi system.

Fixed Line Out

In the event that you want to include the musicbook 20/25 in an existing system with its own amplifier and volume control, it is recommended that you bypass the volume control of the musicbook 20/25. This is made possible by the Fixed Line Out function. There is then no volume control on the musicbook 20/25; in such a case, volume is controlled on the amplifier connected to the musicbook 20/25. The volume control for the headphone output can continue to be used.

• Press the Settings button on the IR remote control.

• Confirm with the OK button.

• Use the SET buttons SET up and SET down to select uOnt to activate the Fixed Line Out function and uOfft to deactivate the Fixed Line Out function. Confirm with the OK button.

NOTE: If you use the musicbook 20/25 without integration into an existing system – that is, the musicbook 20/25 with powered loudspeakers or the musicbook 20/25 with power amplifier and passive loudspeakers – the Fixed Line Out function must be set to Off, since the maximum output voltage could otherwise cause severe damage to the loudspeakers. The Fixed Line Out function is turned off by default.

To be able to use the musicbook 20/25 as a network player, your digital music archive must be stored on a UPnP server connected on the same home network as the musicbook 20/25. In general, this task is performed by a NAS (Network Attached Storage) with a music or media server. If you want to use your PC or Mac as a network server, UPnP software must

be installed on it. Programs such as TwonkyServer or Asset, which are available for down-load on the Internet for a fee, can be used for this.

NOTE: It's important to note that the Browse View only displays the folder structure of the UPnP server. This has the consequence that the views in the Browse View are not uniform, but vary. Sorting of the music according to specif-ic criteria such as albums, genre, artist, lists, alphabetical sorting, etc., is thus dependent on the UPnP server. For this reason, the views of the folder structure shown here as examples can differ from the view on your device.

If you press the Display button on the IR remote control, the display switches between Title and Artist.
